Molegrips mate. Get a pair of them on, squeeze until the mechanism locks solid, then undo.

They\'re awesome things for removing nuts, if you can get to said nut with them!

I\'ve been using some lockable pliers but it\'s not happening and I\'ve more or less rounded the bolt off because it was all rusted away! I\'ll find a way to sort it eventually, looks better even with the \'stump\' left. Problem I have is I have no tool kit or anything since leaving the uk, I borrow next door neighbours but she is a woman so it\'s very limited.

isnt there a nut on top and bottom? I know the top one you need a long socket for.

The nut on the top is the one thats kinda erroded, underneath is the wiper mechanism. I took the mechanism apart hoping i could get it off that way, but the underneath bolt (if there is one) is hidden away by the wiper cogs.

removing rear wiper is one of the 1st things i did.
over the hole is this... with good strong tape inside and out..

colour may seem a bit gay but i do eventually want my car to be resprayed purple :]
ive been looking into the arcade button thing but not sure if i\'ll change it.

Quote from: Lacey;783333Ben, do you not remember us discussing wiper removal & arcade button replacement stuff a long while ago? It was when the white (EGI?) was up for sale that had one on it.

Problem is, i can\'t get the wiper stump off. The bolt has totally rusted away and rounded off. Need to nip into a garage (or somewhere with a set of tools) and see if they have something to remove it with! Cheers for the link though, once i\'ve got it off i\'ll get one of them
